The last day to lock in crop insurance coverage for fall-planted crops is Monday, October 1 since September 30 falls on a Sunday. Don’t wait until the last day or week to make a decision that’s so important to the long-term viability of your operation. With the extreme adverse weather conditions in 2012 and volatile input costs and fluctuating commodity prices, crop insurance is not an afterthought anymore – it is a key component of the overall risk management plan of a farming operation. Performance of your insurance contract should be reevaluated each year. Call 800-884-FARM and ask to talk to a crop insurance specialist in your area for guidance on the fine details.
